Mentally is fine. if you're clear on why you want to do this your purpose becomes the motivator.

The terminology difficult to grasp because the concept is a difficult one to get a handle on.
When we were younger and did something 'stupid' our parents would ask us "why are you doing that" we usually knew why but self preservation prevailed so the answer became "I don't know". The fact of the matter is something is always motivating us. Even for example sleeping in... why do you do that? there isn't anything better to do, I don't want to face the day, it's feels good to sleep in... they are all your purpose or reasonings for why you are doing something.
When it comes to reading... we never really stopped to think about why we read a given book so most of them wind up partly read or unread, until exams start looming and we realise that we need to know more than we know if we are going to pass this exam... wo that we can ... avoid getting an ear bashing from our parents, avoid summer school or repeating, make the progress on our career plans. The thing is it's usually non conscious and relying on outside factors and right timing to become motivators, reasons or a purpose for reading.
